He may be expensive but Chris Samba is a great signing for QPR, an absolute rock. Remember how many man-of-the-match performances he put in for Blackburn despite wanting out of there. And I doubt he'll be wanting out of QPR any time soon on those wages...

From Swansea City writer Chris Wathan: Danny Graham looks set to finally sign for Sunderland - leaving Swansea City with a race against time to find a replacement.The want-away striker posed in a Black Cats shirt before the deal was confirmed, although it seems little doubt a move of around £5.5m has been agreed which will see the 27-year-old leave the Liberty.Graham had made it clear he wanted to quit Swansea earlier in the transfer window, eventually citing personal reasons to try and engineer a move to the North East.With a move to Norwich dismissed on that basis, it appeared Swansea were ready to call Graham's bluff when they accepted a £5m bid from Middlesbrough earlier today.But Graham's representatives quickly ruled that move out having made Sunderland their preferred choice.Swansea were holding out for a larger fee for the player who became their record signing when he arrived at the Liberty in a £3.5m switch from Watford, hitting 14 goals in his first Premier League campaign.But questions over fitness and sharpness - not to mention the form of top scorer Michu - saw him lose his automatic starting role, the Geordie agitating for a move away since.A impressive spell in front of goal as well as a failure to land top frontman target Iago Aspas did force a change of mind from Michael Laudrup and Swansea who were prepared to hang on to Graham during the current window.But it appears Graham made his position clear, leading to the deadline day push despite being booed by home fans when appearing at the Stadiumof Light during the midweek goal-less draw.Swansea were determined not to be left short by the possibility of Graham's departure and were keen to line up a loan signing to cover attacking options.

Speaking to Swanseacity.net outgoing striker Danny Graham said: "“I’m sad to be leaving Swansea, but delighted to be joining Sunderland and moving back home to the North East for personal reasons,’’ explained Graham.“I’ve really enjoyed my time at Swansea, but everyone moves on at some time in football. Obviously I would have liked more game-time this season, but that’s the way it goes and I’m looking forward to the new challenge at Sunderland.“I would like to think I played my part in Swansea’s success so far in the Premier League, especially last season.“I can only speak in a positive way about the club, especially the supporters and the squad of players. They have been outstanding and I’d like to thank everyone for making my time so enjoyable.“I believe, 100 per cent, that the club has a bright future. The boys have done very well since stepping up to the Premier League and it will only get even better for them. There’s a major cup final to look forward to and I’m sure they will continue to progress.’’

David Beckham in France arriving for his medical with Paris St Germain, do you think an English team should have made a move for him?

Beckham aint stupid he wouldnt have coped in EPL now so opts for France instead. Think PSG want to sell a few shirts and raise profile of club with that signing its not for football reasons anyhow. Most overrated footballer ever
